I picked one up last night from slickdeals with this coupon code. I had been in the market for a 35 1.4 and looking for a used Sigma around $500. For $100 more, no brainer purchase. Hopefully the AF issues I've been reading about it aren't nearly as bad as people make.

I've seen some really amazing images taken with this lens, but I've frustratingly owned this lens on Nikon and hopefully don't have that frustration with this one lol

I picked one up the last time it was available for this price. It's aan absolute steal at this price, and darn good at full retail.

Any issues with AF-C Jordan? How would rate focus accuracy for this lens?

Full credits to Roger and Lensrentals....I know that it would have to be adapted (and it's larger, heavier, and more expensive considering this deal), but the Tamron also tempts me.



Forgive my butchering of Lensrentals MTF charts, but I couldn't find a direct comparison between these 2 lenses. If this is breaking any rules, please remove (or let me know and I will.)

It's been very accurate for me. Eye AF just nails focus. Easily as accurate as any of my Sony lenses. The latest firmware provided a nice speed boost too.

I just wish it wasn't an "absolute unit".

I always loved my 35 Art on my Nikons. So so tempted as I need a 35 AF lens. Tamron looks good too! Nice to have options at last.

I loved this lens when I had it but for weddings I found the Sony 35/1.4 focuses more consistently.

It's roughly the same size as the Sony or Rokinon versions. It's not a svelte lens, but it's also not excessively large.

This is what I keep trying to tell people. "But it's not designed solely for mirrorless" yet the thing is pretty much the same god damn size as the Zeiss and Rokinon lenses and actually skinnier than the Rokinon lens.

This or Sony native 35/1.8?

Do you need f/1.4 or will f/1.8 will work? For me, f/1.8 is fine and I would much rather have the lighter Sony lens than the Sigma. I’m also assuming the Sony has faster AF and better quality because its design is native to the system, versus being adapted from an SLR design. However, I’m speculating on both points, so I’d be curious to know what others have to say.

Get the Sony,the Sigma AF can be moody. The Sony AF is solid. Plus its teeny.

The sigma has better optics & it is way more durable, also it has real mechanical manual focusing, on the other hand AF is not that great, also it's huge and very conspicuous.

How does it compare to the Sigma Art 35mm 1.2?

It is not only f/1.4 vs f/1.8. I tested extensively both and image quality / tendering / pop is way better for the Sigma.
Last firmware has improved AF accuracy which still remains on the slow side compared to most native Sony lenses.

About a half stop less awesomeness. I kid.

At the sale price the 1.4 is currently at, I'd say it's more bang for the buck than the 1.2.

Unless you really want or need the 1.2 aperture, fn button or aperture ring, I would save the cheese.

This Sigma 35 f1.4 is the DSLR version with an MC-11 built in, is it not?
